By Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most skilled players in football, is getting an Android game! It’ll be called Cristiano Ronaldo Freestyle, a rhythm game that sees you responding to on-screen commands to the tune of music in order to keep Ronaldo going as he keeps the ball in the air with his feet.
Think of it as “Dance Dance Football” I suppose. It looks like it could be good for some quick fun. Unfortunately the title does not launch for Android until December 22nd ($2.99) but if you have an iOS device (that’s not crazy at all) you can find it there today. The gameplay footage is being uploaded soon. Read on for full press details.

30th November2011 – You’ve never seen a game like it! Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world’s best known footballers and current star of Real Madrid, has put his name and incredible soccer skills to an exciting music/rhythm game, Cristiano Ronaldo Freestyle. Cristiano Ronaldo Freestyle packs all of Ronaldo’s unique soccer skills and style into one amazing game. Packed with hundreds of tricks and challenges, multiple gameplay modes and set in different real-world locations, Cristiano Ronaldo Freestyle is the ultimate game to test your soccer skills to the max!
Freestyle soccer is an amazing combination of acrobatic and athletic moves performed with a soccer ball. Incredible ball control plus creativity and imagination delivers a unique display of soccer tricks and live entertainment. Ronaldo has become known the world over for his ability to combine a whole repertoire of freestyle moves into his match-day play, and in the game players get the chance to pull off outrageous tricks and combos as Ronaldo challenges freestyle players around the world, from England to Japan.
The game combines rhythm action and touchscreen controls to allow players to pull off loads of different tricks, taken from real-life freestyle soccer moves. Trap and freeze the ball with a flick of both thumbs, then tilt the screen to balance the ball before flicking into another cool trick as you try to string enough moves together to become the king of freestyle soccer!

wow that is badass
You mean “soccer” :-)
Seriously! I was just thinking “I thought Quentyn was from the US”
No, he means “football”. You know…the game where your “foot” touches a “ball” and NOT your hands for most of the game???
Even with Ronaldo’s name attached, $2.99 seems a bit much. I’d rather have a proper football game (full team match), even if the graphics were sub-par.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Maybe someone should make something like “California Games” from back in the 16bit era, which had hackey sack among other things.
That is queer with a capital G-A-Y.
Can he compete against Messi?
That looks Lametastic!
This is incredibly gay. Its even more homosexual that your giving us news on soccer and calling it football when this is clearly America.
You do realise this is the internet now and not ARPANET, the site isn’t just for America. Don’t get me started on the word soccer.
This game is a tad lame and overpriced for what you get
This looks…and sounds awwwwful WHY did I click this
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhjjjjdjjjddjsjsbejdejjdj
You do realize this site is based in America right?
I like this game!! I find it fun and very addictive. Music is great. Particularly good is “Something Good” and “Capture the Momentum”. Someone asked where they can download them. If ound them on Broadjam, CDBaby, and Itunes..
